Thank you once again, Royal Arabella, for our new thread and for setting forth once again our Royal Philosophy. Your new "friendship opportunity" sounds great - just what I'm looking for, I'd say. I know I need more new friends. I have some good reliable friends for some things. But I need a little more adventure in my life - nay, not a lot - just some - and don't seem to hae the buddy I need for that. Still, I've gone to many things alone and will continue my quest.
My "travelling on the same orbit" friend, I too have had a weepy week. I do know some of the reasons for this, in my case. However, I had a really terrible "lets eat enough food to force down our feelings" night two days ago and a lot more firm self-revelation, etc. No matter how many times I do this, it seems to be needed every now and then. I feel I came out of it (though still weepy) with more layers peeled away.
AND this morning I was back at 198.8 - it is so much easier to do better when old scale is doing better. Not saying it will last but it's good to see it again.
Some of my "weepy" is just January - post Christmas let-down, snow, important dates, etc. But I had a revelatory moment today that made me feel too blessed to weep. All revolved around snow and kind neighbors and two great conversations - both totally unexpected. I don't mean I was sitting around crying - just that little things have been bringing tears to my eyes - good things, bad things, maybe some sweets will help things. But I think I will very soon be a rational human again.
I haven't made a firm decision on the water ai chi but likely will go for at least the next seven weeks (duration of class). Pluses and minuses but it IS something a little different and, as I said, I need to shake it up a bit.
Back to paying some bills - no, that's not why I was weeping - but I do have to read proposals for a radon remediation job I'm going to have done. This house is a money pit, for sure.
Nothing exciting going on here but that's okay as I need some quiet time sometimes - and some new adventures to get into as well.
